Nope thats not the case with the vfat file system. For vfat, defaults means
'ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec' when 'user' is set.
Do read the fs-specific entries in the later part of the mount manpage.

Changing that only allows users to mount the fs, but does not change the
permissions. Heres what I use to ensure access to the vfat file system:
auto,user,dev,exec,suid,gid=,uid=,umask=,rw
gid,uid,umask have to be set according to the permissions you want to grant
to users. These options are listed in the fs-specific parts of the manpage.
